Pliz help me to choice popping rod fot GT under 25kg..

In my mind is Gipang 78MH, SEED P76, P710< P83, Yamaga 76/6, 76/8, Carpenter SP80M, LR88..

I think any of the rods would handle fish below 25kg easily, more of a deciding factor would be the terrain/lure type which you would be fishing to help you make your decision!

[Luke Wyrsta]

What line class and lure weight do you wish to fish with?

[Chris_Nias]

I think with line pe5 or pe6 n with lure stick bait, pencil n chugger 120-150gr..

Sorry guys, coz my english so bad..

I'm from Nias island - Indonesia

[Brandon Khoo]

Christian - you're from Nias Island and your sur-name is Nias? is this simply a coincidence or are you using a name other than your real name? if so, please note our forum rules - we request people use their real names

Hey Christian,

I also am living in Indo at the moment and the under 25kg is pretty much the norm from the rocks.  I have the LR88 and love it for both from the rocks and the boat.  It is a big advantage being able to cast that extra few meters and certainly has pleanty of grunt for fish of this size.
Thats my two bob worth anyway!

[Chris_Nias]

@ Gus: LR88 is good rod but it's too long for me. Coz fight from boat n i'm just 165cm high...

Something like a Carpenter Coral Viper in the RF35 sounds about right

[Chris_Nias]

I know carpenter coral viper is the good rod, but the problem carpenter coral viper not ready yet..

What u think about keyolhu, gipang 78mh n seed p76?

Carpenter rod is worth waiting for , beside we have SP80M in stock so what is stopping you , Chris ?

[Brandon Khoo]

I would prefer the SP80M over these but that is a personal thing

Hi Brandon ,

Thanks for the support , you are one of the guy they will listen to and many have benefitted from your advise .

Big 'thumbs up' for the SP80M    and it will go beyond 25kg fish quite happily if the situation requires.

[Chris_Nias]

I like Coral Viper RF35 more than SP80M. Coz review RF35 nice to playing stick bait n chugger..

Any one can help me to find RF35?

Christian, unless someone has one available for a private sale, Carpenters are an exercise in patience. Speak to your local distributor about ordering one and then wait patiently. If you don't want to wait, opt for another brand.
